Can you open a PDF of your Amex statement from the website? This is a fairly new feature, but I can and it shows the foreign currency equivalent just like the physical paper statement. For MBNA, it isn't a PDF but looks just like the paper statement, although it has disclaimer "this is not an official statement."
DC website is rather primitive and I mainly use this card for car rentals but I just checked some old online statements and they show the foreign currency amount also.
